What to expect at your consultation
From your first consultation to the next step, take time to ask about anything unclear.
History and examination
Your symptoms, family history of heart disease, medicines and previous procedures are assessed.
Deciding which tests are needed
An ECG (recording of the heart’s electrical activity), echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) or other tests may be needed. Not every patient has the same investigations.
Discussing follow-up and treatment
Treatment, lifestyle habits and follow-up timing are discussed based on the results; another specialist’s assessment is arranged if needed.
Prepare before your visit
A little preparation helps you remember important details during the consultation.
First visit guide- Bring any previous ECG, echocardiogram, angiography and discharge reports.
- Prepare your medicine and allergy list and any blood pressure measurements.
- Ask the relevant department whether your planned test requires fasting or medicine adjustments. Do not stop medicines on your own.
Your questions
This information does not replace your individual examination or treatment plan.
Can I discuss heart health without symptoms?
Cardiovascular risk is not assessed from symptoms alone. You can discuss family history, existing conditions and lifestyle with your doctor.
Will I have angiography at the first visit?
Angiography is not routine at every visit. Assessment determines whether it is needed; if planned, preparation, benefits and risks should be explained.
Can the consultation and tests be completed on the same day?
This depends on the required tests and department scheduling. Ask the hospital about the scope and how results will be discussed before your appointment.
